theres loads of other yokes there too including a beetle, a mk2 jetta, mk1 jetta, mk1 fwd carina, corolla ee80 saloon, fiat ritmo, talbot solaris, other fiats, vw variant and loads of other scrap

sogood

What is it with some people who have fields full of cars and refuse to sell any of them? What are they keeping them for? That one in Mayo has one of my all time favourites, looking fairly intact ( the Ford Consul/Zephyr) the first police car I ever remember and a prime candidate for restoration. There ought to be a law!!!!!

manta mad

:eek:

the rust bug is in well in their !!!!!!

& now we know where all tha carinas went :rolleyes:

So you could convert it to scrap no doubt.




I'd love to get my hands on a few bits of trim from that Olympic Blue capri.

I thought mine was rusty!

i think thats the variant in the top corner of the sunbeam pic, a fastback 3, the van was a left hooker but i have a number for that man and he'll part with some of them cars for small money.

ep71

with regard to the first pics, there used to be far more cars in the fields around but there was a digger and a skip there today so id imagine a lot has been dumped, from my own memory there were loads of granadas, a fiat x1/9, a couple of fiestas and a lot of other stuff that are gone

AHH! Poo :mad:

just once i would love to find a type 4 in an irish scrap yard.
still good to see a type 3, but i don't own one (yet:o)

most of the vans here are lefties anyway

can you PM me his number?

G Luxel

So many Anglia/Prefect 100E/105E's (mostly Black..Cork built?)in those pictures. I wonder seeing as I cant see numberplates if they are all recent UK imports? Or maybe he's cleaned up every ditch and field in the west of Ireland. I can spot a Zephyr/Zodiac in that photo and the remains of a Renault 16 (green car next to ZO regd Wolseley 16/60.

Carina Dude

Wow, you have no idea how long I have been looking for a gearbox for a rwd Carina, just wonder if he'd part with it...could you send me his number please...

Are these that hard to find?

granadamad

i would say so, dont most japs end up being exported?

Carina Dude

Yeah, you would think there should be no problem until you go looking, I'm sure there is one somewhere, but nearly all the rear wheel drive models have gone now appart from ones being maintained as classics...
